Message Guy Tip #67:How to select girlfriend birthday wishes...

It would be easy for me to just tell you to make your girlfriend birthday greeting romantic. That's a pretty obvious route to take. What's not so obvious is the level of romance you should inject into your birthday message for her. So how should you proceed? You should... Read more ►

Consider how far you want to go with your message:

If you're too aggressively romantic with your choice of girlfriend birthday wishes (and you try to sweep her off her feet with hugs, kisses and empty, sweet words), you'll end up tripping over yourself and falling flat on your face.

Of course, if you're not romantic enough, you'll come off as too cold and instantly send your girlfriend into "OMG-he-doesn't-love-me-anymore" panic mode.

The right route to take is also the safest and the most honest: pick girlfriend birthday wishes that reflect how you feel about your girlfriend and the level of romance in your relationship. Nothing more, nothing less.

In practical terms, if the romance in your relationship is, on a scale from 1 to 10 (with 1 the lowest level of romance and 10 the highest) 6 or lower, don't overdo the romance. In fact, you should take the sentimental path. It's easy — simply click here to go to my Sentimental Birthday Wishes section. Yep, it's that easy!

If the romance in your relationship is, on the same scale, 7 or higher, be as romantic as you want. For you, I have all sorts of romantic messages in this section.

Happy birthday! I love your eyes. I love your smile. I love your neck. I love your hands. I love your nose. I love...everything about you. You’re why I have so much love in my heart.

When I'm not with you, I just shut my eyes and, like magic, everything I adore about you, pops into my head, making me feel like you're with me. So, even though I can't be with you on your special day, just shut your eyes and right beside you will be me. Happy birthday!

You're so special that the world should know to stop turning for 24 hours, so everyone can celebrate the special day of its most special citizen: you wonderful you! Have a special birthday, my love!

This is a birthday message that shows just how much you love your girlfriend, without actually spelling it out, which is not as appealing as showing it. That's why it's my favorite. I think it will be your girlfriend's favorite too. ◄ Read less

For me, your special day should be celebrated with a star-studded affair. Your name should be up in lights. Paul McCartney should sing "Birthday" to you. That's how special you are! Have a wonderful birthday! I love you!

Once a year is a day so special that the other 364 days of the year pale in comparison. Once a year is your birthday. This year, I will make your birthday so special that you will remember it forever...or until the next birthday we celebrate together!

Honey, you rock my world more than the heaviest metal band, more than anybody else ever could. Now I'm here to return the favor. Let's make your birthday rock all night long! I love you.

If I added up every precious moment we've spent together, it would be worth more than all the gold in Fort Knox. My time with you is priceless. I've hit the jackpot with our love. Happy birthday to my little treasure.

I love you so much that I booked every room of your favorite hotel for your birthday, for the entire night, for just the two of us. In other words, I kicked out my roommate and we have my entire apartment to ourselves. Get ready for a five-star birthday!

Wishing you a “Happy Birthday” is not the only way I can show you my love. Let’s get into our birthday suits and express ourselves! Happy birthday, lover!

Wishing the best of everything because you’re the best. I love you. Happy birthday, sweetie!

You're my girl, my love, my life. I'm going to make every second of your birthday the time of your life. Happy birthday, baby!

Happy birthday, sweetheart. You can do no wrong! You're just right for me. For your special day, I'm going to give you all the love I have.

Most of the time, it's hard for me to show how I feel about you. But it's your birthday and I want it to be special, so I will at least try to express my true feelings. Luckily, I found the perfect words...I love you!
